Yup. It’s Jesus in a banana peel. The article has all the usual nonsense, so I’ll spare you the details. But my favorite part is where the banana owner says, "It definitely wasn’t that way when I bought it from [the store]…. ".

<sarcasm>Yes, because once you buy a banana and bring it home, it stays exactly the same forever.</sarcasm>

Sigh. I’ve had bananas go bad on the way home from the store. Bananas are the least stable fruit ever. I bet ten minutes after that picture was taken it looked more like the pareidolia in the kitchen sink.

I suppose there will never come a day when the mainstream media will have an article with a picture like this with the headline, "Random pattern in object appears to look vaguely face-like; owner makes no claim of divinity". That would certainly be news to me!

I think it IS Jesus, and not only that, it may be the first ACCURATE image of Jesus ever recorded! Know how I know? Because He’s smiling! Almost none of the images of Jesus in all the annals of Western art show him smiling. Not to mention, none of the pareidolia. But surely One so full of benevolence would smile a lot! So I say it’s the first ever authentic image of Jesus anywhere. Too bad it was on a banana . . .

is it me or has there been in increase in the number of divinity “sightings” lately? i wonder if its bcuz of the holiday season? or bad economic times? or phil has just been posting more of them lately?

It probably is Jesus since he is not smiling. Finding a picture of Jesus with a smile is about as rare as seeing pictures of rock musicians without that artifical scowl. (what’s up with that anyway is there some musicians union rule that forbids band members from smiling in their publicity photos?)

Alright, I’m going to just peel some off here:
I donno, I think the people that say that’s Jesus are bananas.
Is that a banana in his pocket, or is he just happy to see us?
I’m sure the image didn’t last long … he appeared and then quickly had to split.

Oh, so that’s how we do it nowadays; inserting the word “sarcasm” in between sarcastic comment, every time we write something in sarcastic mode…apparently, i get into a lot of unnecessary brawl because you’d be surprise how many people out there who don’t get irony. Thanx for the tip

Hey, another way to check out many divinity signs etc, is to observe one’s own stool. I tell my patients to go back and observe their stool for something else and they come back to me saying they see (or more precisely, imagined) their stool take on many prominent figure (I’m talking about human figure now, not the stool), Samy Veloo being the latest….

come to think of it, you can imagine divinity or whatever it is you want to imagine, just about anywhere, because at the end of the day, they are in your minds…it’s like looking at the clouds and let the imagination run wild

Actually, in context, she was suggesting that the banana was bruised by being placed under other fruit in the fruit bowl, not that Jesus came down and zapped his face onto the banana after she bought it.

I prefer this quote: “One of my friends said they saw the Holy Mother on their bathroom door and another saw an apparition of Mary on the mould of their shower floor.”

It looks more like my dog who was sent to the big dog park in the sky last year. (brushing aside tear) Oh, wait. He’s found a way to get a message back to me! He imprinted his face on a banana, purchased by Lisa Swinton, who mistakenly interpreted the picture as “Jesus”, and reported the finding to the Daily Telegraph, which was picked up by BA (he knows I’m a BA regular). My dog works in mysterious ways.

It’s clearly that portly, pushy guy from ST:TOS “Journey to Babel” — the one who pestered Sarek with “No, you! How do you vote?” before Sarek literally got pushy and threw him against the wall. You know, one of the race that are always feuding with the blue-skinned Andorians.
